Smoking? And you didn't stop? yep, that is dumb, but you

Actually, I did stop after it was apparent that the bar and chain were
smoking. It wasn't apparent what was happening at first.

I have noticed that a chain that is wearing will go through softer woods
without a problem but will not go through harder woods, such as oak.
Given the fact that day 2 began with the oak, the distinction between
the two wasn't as apparent as it would have been had I moved immediately
from softer to harder woods. But, you're right, I now know how to
instantly recognize when a chain isn't performing as it should.

Keeping a cahinsaw sharp is IMO the most important part of maintenance. As
soon as you notice it's not cutting so well, sharpen it. Before you start,
sharpen it. You get the idea

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to
think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone´s fault.
If it was Us, what did that make Me ? After all, I´m one of Us. I must be.
I´ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No-one ever thinks
of themselves as one of Them. We´re always one of Us. It´s Them that do
the bad things. = Terry Pratchett. Jingo.
